Thank you Mike

I am looking to build WW1 Bomber or Bi-Wing Fighter Airplanes. In a larger scale maybe 1:48th. which manufacture would you recommend? Thanks Mike

I am trying to build a Gotha WW1 bomber. The rear bulkheads fit ok. But the forward ones don't fit, too wide. Even the steering assembly is too wide. Help Mike

I have been to MId-America and bought a 1:24 slot car. I usually go to the Logan Ave track in Belvedere IL about 20 minutes from my house. They don't have much in the way of aftermarket stuff. So off to Mid America! Thanks Mike

I am looking for modern style 1:35th buildings. They could be Lazer cut put together ones. I have only seen war buildings. Mike

Thanks Mike

I was on Facebook Market site looking for Carrera Go parts. So that I could expand it. Then I saw that this Evolution set, and it was offered for $50.00. I jumped on it. Picked up from the seller the same day. Yesterday I set up the track and still have to do some shimming work and decorating.

Nice cars. Where did you get the interiors from? I have a 1:24th slot car with a Lexan body held in place with Velcro. I have been contemplating which hard body to use. I was thinking of using one of those Super Stock bodies. I have so much to choose from. Mike

Outstanding. My favorite Ferrari At least one or two are still left. Rare ‘shark-nose’ Ferrari to debut at new British concours | Classic & Sports Car (classicandsportscar.com)

I am a big fan of JB. I have to get one those. Mike

Micro Mark sell this and some others

Thank you Mike.

I am decaling a Lexan body slot car. I know it is gonna crash. Which would protect the decals Pledge, Createx or another brand? Thanks Mike

There was a low-level mid-air collision between the 2 at a Dallas Air Show yesterday. The Air Show is an annual Veterans Day affair. The polit of the King Cobra is being blamed for the crash. He was flying too close to the B-17. Regardless of who is to blame it is such a tragedy. Mike

Saying to myself I am only buying and building one kit at a time. Now have 50 car models and some military kits to be built. I bet a lot of guys started out down this path. Mike

I watch Mecum Auto Auction for inspiration. Especially paint colors. Paint chips are Ok, but you can't beat seeing the real thing. I am building a 1969 442 which is painted Hugger Orange with the kit's white decals and the soon to arrive Keith Marks white set. I would have never even thought of a Hugger Orange 442 until I saw one on Mecum. It is spectacular !!!! Mike

Me being a Baby Boomer I would go back in time to piolet a P51 Mustang.

My wife and I went to South Dakota, and we visited the Ellsworth Air Force Base the home of the B1 and the outdoor and indoor museums. We had the privilege of seeing a B1 coming low and fast to land. Another taking off fast and high. We also went to a Minute Man Missel silo. Mike

I agree false advertising Thanks for your comment Mike

I didn't see or read that discussion. I will pay more attention to kit reviews Thank you for the comment Mike

I am not trying to accomplish anything other getting some response from Revell about my question. Curtis Mayfield sang "If you don't try you gonna die" {Freddies Dead} It just rubbed me the wrong way Thanks for your comment Mike

Beautiful !

Proud to say that my cousin Dominic who enlisted about 18 months ago. Is having the time of his life. He is assigned to the motor pool and is serving in Japan. He sends us YouTube videos of him driving these huge vehicles. A big smile on his face. Mike

Short synopses: I sent an e-mail to Revell about putting a snap kit into a full build. Response took 1 day. Big demand for the 1981 Z28 Camaro. New decals 2nd email You did not answer my question about the snap kit. Still waiting for answer. Thanks for all your responses. Mike.
